github copilot is like pair programming with a golden retriever

it's interesting the way that it nudges you towards writing code that is like other code that people write. makes it much less useful if you're working with a homebrewed framework. might be a good thing, although i don't like it.

when it comes to the hardest part of programming, naming things, it definitely gives me "well, but now i don't want to call it that" feelings

just to follow up on this thread: i couldn't figure out how to have normal Intellisense and also Copilot in VS Code, so I turned off Copilot. Ironically the problem with it is that I didn't have a good enough memory & it kept guessing plausible but wrong names for things.
